Vendor & Platform Security Reviews
Vendor & Platform Security Reviews
We apply the same control mapping and evidence engineering to vendor platform reviews (Meta, Microsoft SSPA, Google Workspace) that we use for NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 compliance. These reviews demonstrate our framework alignment capabilities in action—delivering the rigorous control crosswalks and audit-ready evidence packages that satisfy both platform reviewers and regulatory auditors.
Overview
We engineer security controls, produce audit-ready evidence, and manage submissions for vendor and platform security reviews. Our advisory approach ensures your organization passes initial assessments and maintains ongoing compliance.
We map your controls to platform requirements, identify gaps, and deliver evidence packages that reviewers accept without extensive clarification rounds.
Meta Vendor Review Support
We prepare organizations for Meta’s vendor security review process, focusing on data handling, access controls, and incident response. We map your SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls to Meta’s requirements and generate evidence that demonstrates compliance.
Control Crosswalk
We create detailed mappings between Meta’s security requirements and your implemented controls, identifying exact alignments and any gaps requiring remediation.
Evidence Library
We build evidence libraries with current artifacts (access logs, encryption configurations, incident reports) validated for Meta’s review standards.
Submission & Clarifications
We prepare submission packages and draft responses to reviewer questions, ensuring tight, evidence-based clarifications that expedite approval.
Remediation & Retest
We address identified gaps through control implementation and retest validation, providing proof of remediation effectiveness.
Microsoft SSPA Support
We guide organizations through Microsoft Supplier Security and Privacy Assurance (SSPA) assessments and reassessments. We validate controls against SDPR requirements and prepare evidence for annual renewals.
Control Crosswalk
We map your security controls to Microsoft’s Supplier Data Protection Requirements (SDPR), ensuring comprehensive coverage across identity, data protection, and incident response.
Evidence Library
We assemble evidence libraries with quarterly access reviews, vulnerability scans, and subprocessor assessments that meet Microsoft’s validation standards.
Submission & Clarifications
We manage SSPA portal submissions and prepare clarification responses, drawing from our experience with hundreds of successful assessments.
Remediation & Retest
We implement missing controls (e.g., enhanced access reviews, encryption validation) and provide retest evidence for reassessment submissions.
Google Workspace Security Review Support
We support Google Workspace security assessments for organizations processing Google data. We focus on data classification, network security, and third-party risk management.
Control Crosswalk
We align your controls with Google’s security requirements, including data retention, encryption, and access governance standards.
Evidence Library
We develop evidence libraries with Google Vault configurations, DLP policies, and audit logs that demonstrate Workspace security compliance.
Submission & Clarifications
We prepare assessment submissions and clarification responses, leveraging templates from successful Google reviews.
Remediation & Retest
We remediate gaps in data protection and access controls, providing validation evidence for resubmissions.
Evidence Preparation Process
Step 1: Requirements Mapping
We analyze platform-specific security questionnaires and map your controls to requirements, identifying evidence needs.
Step 2: Gap Analysis
We assess your current security posture against platform standards, prioritizing remediation for high-impact gaps.
Step 3: Evidence Generation
We generate or validate evidence artifacts, ensuring currency and completeness for reviewer acceptance.
Step 4: Submission Management
We organize evidence packages, submit through platform portals, and manage clarification rounds.
Step 5: Ongoing Compliance
We establish processes for renewal submissions and continuous evidence maintenance.
Why This Matters for Your Compliance Program
Vendor platform reviews validate the same control rigor required for NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and regulatory audits. Organizations that pass Meta, Microsoft, and Google security assessments consistently demonstrate framework-aligned security programs that satisfy auditors across multiple standards.
- Proven Track Record: Hundreds of successful platform reviews across Meta, Microsoft, and Google
- Framework Alignment: We apply NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 control mapping to platform requirements
- Evidence Focus: We deliver artifacts that prove control effectiveness, not generic documentation
- Audit Readiness: Platform review evidence packages accelerate SOC 2, ISO 27001, and regulatory audits
- Long-term Value: We build sustainable compliance processes for ongoing renewals
